    A lot of us are using Caltracs. Maybe Justin could fill us in on this kit.:)

    If I am not mistaken it is just a couple of flat pieces of metal and bolts that clamp the rear leaf springs together forward of the axle. Not much to it and it did not help my truck at all. I removed it and installed Caltracs........

    I couldnt find any installed pics. It clamps the front leafs together for added traction. It is not going to be a dramatic difference in itself but when used with the other components of my traction kits, they all add up to a nice gain in traction. I could easily spray my first stage on the street in first gear without spinning on the 22's with the full stage 3 kit. It all is complimentary and works together. My truck would consistently 1.6 60' and even an occasional 1.5 on drag radials with the full stage 3 kit. Again stage 1 isnt going to let you pop the clutch at 4K and not spin on the 22's, neither are caltracs. Both work well but must be used with other components to achieve the best results.
